“…Several application-level issues are concerned with device mobility. Portable devices usually roam among localities in an unpredictable way and cannot assume any prior knowledge about the locally available infrastructure components, resources, and services [1]. Either in this scenario, they remain connected to the locality of origin or they need to bind to new locality.…”

“…Either in this scenario, they remain connected to the locality of origin or they need to bind to new locality. Research activities have provided notable solutions for resource/service discovery, with different balances between efficiency, flexibility, scalability, and abstraction level [1]. However, these solutions are usually hard to apply to resource-constrained portable devices.…”

Over the past few years, there has been an increased trend of developing applications using Mobile Agent paradigm. Among them, there are applications that interact with mobile devices; these mobile devices provide connectivity to larger number of users. This increasing number of mobile devices identifies challenges in term of service provision to these devices as they have limited resources in term of computation and storage. In addition to this service, providers also face the challenge of heterogeneity in term ofmobile device specifications over a large spectrum of available mobile devices. This paper presents a solution based on Mobile Agent and introduces the concept of Middleware for dynamically discovered, location dependent multimedia services for mobile devices. Mobile Agents act on behalf of mobile device over a fixed network performing necessary actions in terms Of configurationlreconfiguration, communication,downloading multimedia to mobile device and Quality of service handling. Design of a prototype and its implementation has been presented to verify the solution proposed.

“…The co-locality of accounting MAs and their mobile users enable local metering, storing and charging depending on the actual consumption of system/application-level resources at service provisioning time. The pervasive accounting service presented in this paper integrates with our previous research work in multimedia QoS tailoring/adaptation over best-effort networks [6]. The paper is structured as follows.…”

Abstract. Wireless communications and device miniaturization are enabling pervasive scenarios where the limited resource availability and the wide heterogeneity of access terminals make crucial to provide mechanisms and tools for the dynamic adaptation of Quality of Service (QoS). Particularly in case of very resource-consuming services QoS levels should be downscaled to fit the specific characteristics of the provisioning environment and of the current access device. In this context, a challenging aspect is to account clients not only for the generated network traffic, but also for the distributed resources involved in the dynamic QoS adaptation. The paper presents an accounting middleware solution that extends the traditional Internet where and when needed, depending on the mobility patterns of the wireless client devices, by introducing flexible mobile components for metering and charging. The middleware exploits the Mobile Agent (MA) technology to achieve dynamicity in metering/charging behavior, locality in the access to metering data, and to enable session-dependent accounting, even in case of temporary network partitioning.
